Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: There is evidence for an inherited contribution to primary brain cancer. Linkage analysis of high-risk brain cancer pedigrees has identified candidate regions of interest in which brain cancer predisposition genes are likely to reside. METHODS: Genome-wide linkage analysis was performed in a unique set of 11 informative, extended, high-risk primary brain cancer pedigrees identified in a population...
